Pretty sure people who saw it in GAF thread dont agree with critics. Critics are sure liking every marvel movie gave bad ratings for this who knows. Its pretty solid movie. And all audience here were happy when leaving movie. I think word of mouth and jack sparrow will carry movie in international for month or more

All they'll do is give Scott a far smaller budget. As long as he has the helm, the script will still be ass. Dude has gone full Lucas at this point.
Another Alien movie would have to Isolation: The Movie. One location, a handful of characters, one xenomorph that barely gets seen.
People saw those movies for the star power?

Pirates is still going to be well under water because it costs so much to make. Disney will only do another one if Depp takes way, way less money or they bring in a new lead.

Logan,john wick2,guardians 2 already better then anything last year in blockbuster space
Nah. Split, Get Out, John Wick 2, Lego Batman, Kong: Skull Island, Logan, Colossal, Guardians 2 have all made this year pretty dope so far.
To be fair split is 2016

No, just films that are trying to do ridiculous franchises with 6 more films (Covenant, King Arthur)
And good riddance to them tbh
Star power still exists, but it is tiny and niche. Like those folks that believe Benedict Cumberbatch is a draw.

Don't forget Power Rangers!
The number 6 is a franchise serial killer at this point.

There's a four week stretch coming up with Baby Driver, War for the Planet of the Apes, and Dunkirk. 2017 hasn't even begun to peak!
Why is Kong in that list?
but Logan

Both. Guardians is legging better than Civil War and Age of Ultron but also everything else is doing poorly
IT'S A GOOD MOVIE, GODDAMNIT
He couldn't draw a stick man caricature of Bronson
Oh jeeze, now The Rock is shilling for Pirates

Dwayne should just accept that he made a Disaster Movie/Movie 43-tier "comedy" and take the L.
It's not like he's going to starve from this flopping considering he's in 30% of every blockbuster released at this point.

I don't agree with that.
A W is A W
Which is odd considering how many nude pics and fanfics Bronsonlee sends him
It Comes At Night should be great too.

I gave Power Rangers as much memory as audiences did
Christ, I even knew people who loved the movie who still found nothing memorable to bring up about it a week later

John C. Reilly really saved that movie. The rest of the humans are such bug fat nothings.

POTC deserved way less, what a shit movie. Uncharismatic leads, zero characterization, the stunts are getting old, and Johnny Depp has jumped the shark.
Literally, if I recall.
I'd be down for more, though. It's a bad movie I enjoy like how some people enjoyed Kong: Skull Island.
Reilly killed it. Damn near teared up at the end credits.
It came out January 20, 2017.
You need to see some more movies man. It's been a very good year for movies.
The previous Pirates movie got worse reviews and made over a billion.
Really? Wow.=O
Sounds about, right. Though I don't know what you've got against cowlicks.

A cowlick pushed me into a locker once
Definitely not. Skull Island was quite fun.

Everything, Everything is. Not teens, but Me Before You made $207 million last year.
I don't know if people die in those, but the sick love story thing is usually pretty cheap to make so I'm guessing were not done yet.
Please stop typing.

the rock is probably new to underperforming. look at his movies, so many you'd think they would've bombed but nope, they made at least 3 times their budgets.
like who watched "Central Intelligence" but it made 216 million on a 50 million budget.
"Journey 2:The Mysterious Island" that one surely bombed, never even heard of it and it sounds goofy but nope: 335 million on 79 million budget.

Skull Island wasn't even the worst movie that came out in March.
